What will a lawyer cost?
This is highly dependant on your type of issue. If we are performing document review, drafting, or transactional documents, then we have fixed fee rates for certain basic tasks. If the transaction involves more complex issues, such as tax guidance or Department of Real Estate filings, it will be more affordable to hire us on an hourly basis. Our rates are competitive but reflect the 25+ years of our attorney’s financial and legal experience. Luckily, our attorney’s experience has also increased efficiency. Our attorney can produce high quality work in far less time than less experienced attorneys. If your issue is a dispute, there are some cases we take on contingency where there are significant plaintiff damages sought. However, our contingency fees reflect the shifting of risk and tend to cost more in the end. In defense cases and for people seeking something other than money damages (e.g. an order of the court settling title in your name, or a writ ordering the DRE to take some action or another) then we will recommend an hourly fee arrangement. It is usually less costly anyway. Call us to find out more specific details about the cost of our representation.
